    摘要: An adaptive structure of a Wiener filter is used to deconvolve three-dimensional wide-field microscope images for the purposes of improving spatial resolution and removing out-of-focus light. The filter is a three-dimensional kernel representing a finite-impulse-response (FIR) structure requiring on the order of one thousand (1000) taps or more to achieve an acceptable mean-square-error. Converging to a solution is done in the spatial-domain and therefore does not experience many of the problems of frequency-domain solutions. Alternatively, a three-dimensional kernel representing an infinite-impulse-response (IIR) structure may be employed. An IIR structure typically requires fewer taps to achieve the same or better performance, resulting in higher resolution images with less noise and faster computations.

    摘要: A degenerate four-wave mixing arrangement employs a photorefractive crystal as a real time holographic recording medium to record a hologram of the noisy optical signal. The signal passes through the crystal and is phase conjugated by a self pumped barium titanate phase conjugator, and the resulting phase conjugate beam reads out the hologram and multiplicative noise is substantially reduced in the optical output signal.

    摘要: A holographic optical correlator includes a matched optical filter and control means therefor including a memory. In use searching for occurrences of an item to be found is carried out by the control means controlling the input and Fourier transform planes of the filter and a coherent light source for parallel optical processing of the memory content and the output plane of the filter provides information to the control means as to the location in the memory of occurrences of said item. The complexity of the detector means in the output plane can be reduced in comparison with previous proposals by moving the item to be sought step-wise across the input plane. The detector means then may comprise a single column of detectors which are required to detect a peak correlation signal within a predetermined range.

    摘要: The White Light Optical Fourier Transform Device comprises symmetrical wedges of uniaxial birefringent crystal placed on either side of a half-wave plate to induce an angle between the wavefronts of the polarized components of the beam travelling through the device. The wavefront tilt angle of the output beam is shown to be linearly proportional to the angle of incidence. This is sufficient to generate the necessary phase factor for a Fourier transform of the incident intensity image.

    摘要: The coupler includes a waist region formed by merging and fusing a plurality of optical fibers with the waist region encapsulated in photorefractive encapsulating material. The index of refraction of the encapsulating material is modulated by applying illumination thereto, so as to vary the coupler output ratio. The applied illumination can direct the coupler output from one output fiber to another output fiber thereby providing an optically actuated switch. The illumination applied to the encapsulating material can direct a large optical power signal applied to an input fiber from one output fiber to another output fiber thereby providing an optical amplifier analogous to a transistor. One of the output fibers of the element can be utilized to provide the encapsulating material illumination thereby providing an optical feedback oscillator. Bias illumination applied to the encapsulating material results in a narrow band of a broadband input optical signal to be directed to an output fiber thereby providing an externally tuned spectrometer or optically tuned wavelength division demultiplexer. An input optical signal can correlate with the illumination applied to the encapsulating material to provide an optical correlator. In an element with encapsulating material that is both photoelastic and photorefractive, or both bend sensitive and photorefractive, the photorefractive effect can be utilized to bias the device to a predetermined point on the operating curve irrespective of applied stress. Networks of the optical signal processing elements can be interconnected to provide computing systems.

    摘要: In a coherent optical correlation system for detection of object images at unknown angular orientations, a holographic spatial filter in the transform plane of the system is rotated until a correlation beam is produced. The spatial filter is mounted on a rotating cylinder which carries a first mirror placed in the path of the correlation beam emitted from the filter and disposed to direct the beam toward the axis of rotation of the cylinder and a second mirror on the axis and intercepting the beam for directing the correlation beam substantially along the axis. A motor drives the cylinder about its axis and an optical encoding device associated with the rotating cylinder provides an electronic indication of the cylinder orientation at any given instant.

    摘要: A real-time radar processor utilizing a coherent optical system for provig target fine range and Doppler/azimuth angle data with increased signal-to-noise and signal-to-clutter ratios. Radar signals detected by a linear phased array or successive echo signals detected by the receiver are arranged in a 2-D input format for parallel processing in a multi-channel 1-D optical correlator. Target range and azimuth angle reference data may be stored in a matched spatial filter hologram or recorded in a 2-D format similar to that of the detected radar signals according to which of three different correlation configurations are employed in the optical system. The coordinates of the correlation peak in the output plane of the correlator are proportional to the target's fine range and Doppler/azimuth angle, depending upon the type of radar signals being processed.

    摘要: A multi-channel optical correlation system employs non-coherent light to illuminate a mask having a plurality of linearly disposed channels, each of which has recorded information defined by variations in opacity along its linear length. The noncoherent light source is modulated as a function of an unknown input signal and an image of the illuminated mask is formed in a selected image plane. The transmitted image is swept along the axes of the linearly disposed channels in synchronism with the time period of the unknown input signal and means is provided for temporally integrating the light intensity of the swept image along the linear length of each channel. A peak intensity of illumination within any of the channels of the resultant integrated image of the mask at the image plane indicates substantial correlation of the input signal with the recorded information in that particular channel.
